Chromatic vs Stroop Challenge Go

What color is it? Simple question, right? Your goal: Tap the color of the word being displayed. The hard part? That word just happens to be a color too. Try not to get confused! THE GAME • You get three hearts (extra heats can be obtained via in-app purchases). • Just tap the color of the word before it gets to the end, and you get a point. • Miss a word or hit the wrong color, and you lose a heart. • If you lose all your hearts, it's Game Over! GAME CENTER • Try to beat your friends' high scores as you climb the leaderboard! SUPPORT • For questions, comments, or just to say "hi," shoot me an email at info@BenjyWiener.com. NOTES • May cause a major mix of fun and frustration.

Stroop Challenge is a precision cognitive training tool based on the Stroop Effect — one of the most replicated findings in experimental psychology — measuring interference between word reading and color recognition. THE SCIENCE: The Stroop Effect demonstrates that automatic processing (word reading) can interfere with controlled processing (color identification). Regular exposure to Stroop-type stimuli has been associated with improved selective attention, cognitive flexibility, and processing speed. TWO VALIDATED MODES: • Classic (Color-Naming) — Identify the ink color of the presented word. Suppresses automatic reading response. • Word Match (Word-Reading) — Identify the color named by the word. Tests semantic processing independence. METRICS TRACKED: • Score per round (accuracy × speed composite) • Best accuracy rate (percentage of correct responses) • Fastest average reaction time (milliseconds per response) • Session totals: rounds played, correct and incorrect responses • Combo chains: consecutive correct responses DIFFICULTY SCALING: • Easy: 4 color stimuli (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow) • Medium: 5 color stimuli (adds Purple) • Hard: 6 color stimuli (adds Orange) DATA PRIVACY: All data is stored locally via UserDefaults. No network requests are made. No personal information is collected, transmitted, or shared. The app functions completely offline. Ideal for daily cognitive warm-up, focus training, or simply exploring one of psychology's most fascinating phenomena.
